I would like to see how the action looks live. I mainly mean the tempo of carding, first lead etc.
Some segments of Bermuda Bowl or major American tournaments recored live would be great. Is there anything like that available on the net/private archives somewhere ?

There was discussion of having video cameras at tables in the Bermuda Bowl in Eindhoven this October. I have no idea whether it is in the plan or not.

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades

There was a video feed in one of the last important tournaments (I don't remember if it was Brazil or Philadelphia). I don't know if it can be found, there might be a link at swangames?

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

I used to do lots of Vugraphing and I had the idea to set up some webcams and have a live streaming video. But then I started working, stopped Vugraphing and forgot about it.
I do wish someone would do that though.

There was a webcam set up at the table I was operating during the Vanderbilt quarter final.
